Penrose says that human "thought"
must be noncomputable, but may
still be deterministic.
He makes the analogy with certain
tiling patterns, which are noncomputable.
Chaitin shows that some of the deepest
foundations (of mathematics) are based on
truths which are purely random.
How are we able to create, perceive,
experience, choose among these noncomputable
"truths"?
